ANT is itself a .BAT file In windows when you invoke a .BAT file control is passed to that .BAT file much like a GOTO and not like a GOSUB [I hate BASIC but hey] What you want to do then is CALL Ant and not Ant As by adding that magic "CALL " in front you tell the CMD.EXE to return control to you after ANT.BAT has finished running > I guess what I'm envisioning is a .bat which would: > > 1. set the JAVA_HOME > 2. prompt me for the Ant target I want to run > 3. run the ant target > > Thanks again for a few tips for this Ant rookie, > Brian > > > > > 2011/8/23 Parag Doke <parag.d...@gmail.com> > >> One more suggestion (same as the last email from Santanu) ... >> Please try setting PATH to include JAVA_HOME\bin first and then the >> existing PATH.
